I've been kind of partial to the "look at home" philosophy. People are always so concerned about federal politics that they totally forget about state and local politics. The simple fact is that local politics have more to do with our standard of living than federal politics do.

So 'Spaw, tell 'em that they should vote for you because you might do some really cool things. Then tell 'em that none of those cool things will affect them and they should concentrate on local government.

Did y'all know that our local governments have regular meetings that we can attend? Anyone can say anything they want at these meetings. I can stand there and talk about free guitar picks to homeless children if I want to. I can also sit there and see how dirty my local politicians really are.

By the way, our shitty presidential candidates are coming out of our shitty local governments. I think it's time to cleanse from within.
